New Member Introduction of Ben "an Audiofile?!"
« on: 29 Mar 2025, 02:21 pm »
Hi Folks,

I'm Ben, A self identified Audiophile...

I always wondered whether I was alone in this world.. This was until I met a fellow hifi enthusiast who spoke of the term "Audiofile?!" to which I felt at ease.. My fixation with dealing in what I knew was out there in the world of music presentation was a shared experience. this thus led me to the internet to find likeminded folk whom share the curse/pursuit of audiovana.

My Journey started at 16 years of age when I finally had enough money to look to buy something nice for myself; note.. I said "look", I never had the appetite to seek for anything nice before, I guess my sensibility was in check as I hadn't the means to purchase anything that was considered "nice" for myself, so the pastime began, looking some something that was "nice". I didn't know what that might be, all I knew was there was something that I could possibly purchase had it caught my attention. to be Cont'

Hi ArthurD, thank you for the kind greeting :D.

I'm now faced with the daunting.. but all too exciting task of navigating my ways through "forumland". I see that you play an integral part here, being as involved as you are, what trends are you seeing here at AC?

Kindly,

BenD

Mr.Fullrange. What a super power to process, I wasn't aware that the fountain of youth was found down the Audiophile path, I read one of you threads earlier about you guidelines to sonic bliss.. high sensitivity speakers and the omission of crossovers.. makes sense to me.. less is more when I comes to signal preservation. Are you also a proponent of using battery power?

Also.. Thank you Phil A for the welcome :)

Hi all AC members.
Please post in the proper circle.
Montreal Audiofest.
I am not sure if I was to post my journey at the Audiofest.
I am not an audio reporter, not an expert in audio and worst, a bad photographer.
Any way... Out of all the set up, I really enjoy 3 or 4 set up.

(How can I post all two down photos on one time ?

It worked to great effect in the Dodd preamps.
